Expressive reflective writing On the morning of April 25th 2015, I thought it was going to be just another normal day but little did I know that I was going to learn something that would change that day forever. I was sitting in the living room listening to music on my IPod. Then my mom came into the room and said that my cousin Alicia had passed away the day before. I didn’t believe it at first but then I realized that Alicia was actually gone. I asked my mom how she passed and she said that my cousin had taken her own life and she had just got off the phone with my aunt. Later that day my friend came over and I told her what happened and she started crying and she hugged me and told me everything would be okay. That day passed very slowly …show more content…

He was talking about how if we wanted to go up to the casket to say goodbye we could even though it might be hard, he also told us that it was okay to cry. We left the house to head to the funeral home. There was a few hours before the funeral just for the family to be together and say their goodbyes. When we got there I felt like it was just a dream and that she was still alive. We got out of the car and met up with everyone so that we could walk in together. As we were walking toward the funeral home I was trying to be strong, because there had already been a lot of tears and I knew that she wouldn’t want me to be sad and cry but I couldn’t help it.

When I walked up to the casket I started to cry and I told her that I loved her and would miss her. When I walked away my cousin Jake pulled me into a hug and told me that she was my guardian angel now. Then the pastor had us all go into the family room so that they could close the casket. Then we all took our seats for the service. I remember sitting through the service and listening to the pastor tell the memories that people gave him to read about her. My favorite memory with her was when I was in eighth grade and we were painting my aunt 's bathroom and started bickering about something and both ended up covered in purple paint, afterwards we still laugh about it. I remember walking out of the funeral home with my family and

  • Summary Of The Inspired Vs Real Writer

    Adding her own experiences provided a genuine counter argument to the common misconceptions people have about writers, and this was the most influential and persuasive part of the article, to me. This ties into previous readings we’ve had because they all stick with the same theme that writing does not come easy and you may not even realize you like it. This is illustrated in Writing with Super Pencil by Dylan DuLac. DuLac loved writing comics as a young child, but as schooling mindlessly controlled his writing and limited it to boring essays he didn’t have true emotion behind, he began to lose interest in it, until later in his life when he writes this piece. Basically, he hit a few bumps in the road when he was younger, but he eventually came back around and began to write again.

But when I got out of the scrimmage I looked at my phone and my mom had texted me that he had passed. It was one of the toughest days ever. That was really hard for me to get through my head that he wouldn’t be with us anymore.

When my mom and I went to the hospital to visit my aunt, she looked exactly the same as when I last saw her, only in a hospital bed this time. As soon as we walked into her room, she started saying how bland the food was and how boring it was which was ironic because she worked at a hospital herself.

    I am writing this Rhetorical Reflection Memo to reflect on my experiences, readings, and works and examine how my skills have developed from past to present and how to further improve them in the future. Over the course of the term there have been four papers (this being the fifth) that have made me aware of both my strengths and weaknesses in writing: “Rhetorical Analysis”, “Analytic Summary”, “Literacy Narrative”, and “Summary Response”. I struggled the most writing the “Summary Response”, and had the most ease writing the “Literacy Narrative”, but with each paper I experienced some kind of difficulty that helped me learn about my own capabilities. I was most challenged by the “Summary Response”, but my difficulties with writing the paper

    The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation.

    Reflective Portfolio Letter Dear, Members of the First Year Writing Assessment Committee, In my past years of writing I have seen myself develop into a well disciplined and patient writer. However, I have seen myself significantly improve and mature as a writer over the past few months more than I have in the past four years. I view writing as an open doorway full of ideas, feelings, and thoughts weaved together simply for creating a masterpiece. Before entering college English 1010, high school students are conditioned to write required papers and assignments without having the ability to “put you’re your own opinions and feelings in a paper.”
